2017-06-09stdlib: Handle Unicode atoms when formatting stacktracesHans Bolinder
2017-04-27stdlib: Improve the Erlang shell's handling of referencesHans Bolinder
As of Erlang/OTP 20.0, the type of ETS tables, ets:tid(), is a reference(). A request was put forward that the Erlang shell should be able to handle references in its input. This commit introduces an extended parser in module lib. It can parse pids, ports, references, and external funs under the condition that they can be created in the running system. The parser is meant to be used internally in Erlang/OTP. The alternative, to extend erl_scan and erl_parse, was deemed inferior as it would require the abstract format be able to represent pids, ports, references, and funs, which would be confusing as they are not expressions as such, but data types.

2013-01-25Extend char() to Unicode charactersHans Bolinder
The code related to the introduction of unicode_string() and unicode_char() has been removed. The types char() and string() have been extended to include Unicode characters. In fact char() was changed some time ago; this commit is about cleaning up the documentation and introduce better names for some functions.
2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.

2011-08-16emulator: Add a fourth element in exception stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
This commit is a preparation for introducing location information (filename/line number) in stacktraces in exceptions. Currently a stack trace looks like: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN}] Add a forth element to each tuple that can be used indication the filename and line number of the source file: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1,Location1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN,LocationN}] In this commit, the fourth element will just be an empty list, and we will change all code that look at or manipulate stacktraces.
